Quote of the Day - Palin: "Mr. President, game on!"

Palin was on her game in liberal Madison, WI this afternoon. She spent the majority of the speech eviscerating Obama, but she also had a few harsh words for the GOP establishment. Apparently she's not overly impressed with the latest "spending cuts."

The most intriguing part of the speech was the conclusion. The next few weeks should be most interesting.

"The 2012 election begins here. We will fight for America and it starts here in Madison, Wisconsin. Mr. President, game on!”

Doug, you are right. Women are at a disadvantage in the voice dept. Screechy and shrill is hard to avoid when you want to raise your voice during a political speech.

I think if she runs, she needs to remember to tone it down and just speak real close to the mic in a regular voice. Contrast this with Obama, and you lose.

As far as content goes, she's way off in criticizing the deal the other day. We're in this for the long haul, and to get anywhere we have to play it smart. Otherwise, there is NO CHANCE for real reform--the kind Ryan is talking about. Talk radio and the fanatics would kill our chance for reform in one shot.

Once again I prove Einstein's definition of insanity...doing the same thing over again and expecting different results. I used to enjoy coming to this site and debating my fellow Republicans but now I get a sickening feeling in my stomach when I read the nonsense that spews from your guys fingers. The Trig Birthers get more respect on this site than a Palin supporter...I guess as long as you're a Romney supporter then you're a-okay?

Pablo, to each his own...her voice doesn't bother me...it's a voice of a person who is sick and tired of business as usual. I do, however, find it funny that when her detractors cannot find a valid point with the substance of her speech...they resort to superficial reasons as to why they don't like her.

Doug, because he didn't judge her by the merits of her words, his viewpoint of her is myopic at best. He is ill-informed and chooses to be. He writes posts how horrible Americans are because they don't understand the over-inflated and under funded federal budget yet he chooses to not research Palin's resume' because it will get in the way of his simplistic theories.

BTW, I actually feel bad because Pablo used to be one of my favorite posters to read. In fact I have spent a little time at his blog discussing some issues with him but now he is on a crusade of elitism. He chooses to degrade his fellow Republican to feel more superior on the pages of the Frum forum. That is why, for the most part, I have stopped reading his work.

I've always thought Pablo is a talented writer, but he ruins his credibility with his childish rhetoric. Tweeting the 10 pound turd comment is a perfect example. This comes from a guy who wishes to raise the level of debate.

"Especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible." --Sarah Palin, defending her fiery campaign rhetoric in the wake of the Arizona shooting massacre by invoking a phrase ("blood libel") that typically refers historically to the alleged murder of Christian babies by Jews, Jan. 12, 2011

"But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies." --Sarah Palin, after being asked how she would handle the current hostilities between the two Koreas, interview on Glenn Beck's radio show, Nov. 24, 2010

"I want to help clean up the state that is so sorry today of journalism. And I have a communications degree." --Sarah Palin, Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, Nov. 22, 2010

"As we work and sightsee on America's largest island, we'll get to view more majestic bears, so now is a good time to draw attention to the political equivalent of the species." --Sarah Palin, referring to Kodiak Island in Alaska, even though Hawaii is America's biggest island, July 19, 2010

"This is Reagan country (applause). Yeah! And perhaps it was destiny that the man who went to California's Eureka College would become so woven within and inter-linked to the Golden State." --Sarah Palin, blundering on Reagan's education while speaking at a fundraiser at California State University-Stanislaus. Eureka College is in Illinois. (June 25, 2010)

"What the federal government should have done is accept the assistance of foreign countries, of entrepreneurial Americans who have had solution that they wanted presented ... The Dutch and the Norwegians, they are known for dikes and for cleaning up water and for dealing with spills." --Sarah Palin, on solving the Gulf oil spill crisis, Fox News, June 15, 2010

"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, isn't that ironic?" --Sarah Palin, admitting that her family used to get treatment in Canada's single-payer health care system, despite having demonized such government-run programs as socialized medicine that will lead to death-panel-like rationing, March 6, 2010

"I think on a national level your Department of Law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out." --Sarah Palin, referring to a department that does not exist while attempting to explain why as president she wouldn't be subjected to the same ethics investigations that compelled her to resign as governor of Alaska, ABC News interview, July 7, 2009

"It may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: 'Sit down and shut up,' but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out." --Sarah Palin, announcing she quit as governor, July 3, 2009

Those on the ground couldn't hear a single word she said. She was completely drowned out by the boos. The union supporters greatly outnumbered the tea party by approx 10:1. When she came onto the stage she was shaking and never seemed to get over the booing. She cut her screech short by about five minutes and then ran. She still is not even close to be presidential. I actually felt a little sorry for her today.

The one thing I did get...she is still doing nothing productive,she's still just spewing hate.

If it makes you happy to call people names who see things a little differently than you, than have at it. Just makes me feel better bout myself.

I am very happy that whenever you or anyone else posts a negative Romney opinion, I don't disparrage the site as being taken over by haters, question why I come on here anymore or attack people on a personal level.

@RW...I don't know how you heard anything. I was there and all I heard was boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo. Sarah is not about substance, she's about being a media whore celebrity. She will never get within 100 feet of the oval office.

Her speech sailed like a lead balloon. It was another example of her incompetence. Sarah and RAM will tweet 'til they're blue in the face. They're fooling no one. If 6500 people ( 80% anti Palin) is the biggest crowd Sarah can muster up for a rally, she's washed up. Her party's over and it's time to go home.

I am not Martha, however, I will say this...confrontation is one thing...spewing hate is another. The only think Sarah knows to do is spew the hate she reads from her ghost written speech. I don't think Sarah even knows what collective bargaining is.

Jersey, it is easier for Pablismo and his little friends to call us racists than to confront Capitalism. I doubt whether any of these people or their family members even experience racism. Once upon a time, some lady told my wife "hopefully your son's skin will turn lighter." This comment was said before the Tea Party was even so. This is but once reason I cannot take Pablismo and his friends seriously.
